Dallas Area
Own vs Rent Trends
A higher share of owner-occupied homes often reflects stronger long-term ties to the community, since homeowners are more likely to stay in one place and invest in their neighborhoods. By contrast, areas with a larger renter population may be more transient, offering flexibility but sometimes less stability in housing markets.
It could also be an indication of market health, as affordable markets often have higher owner-occupancy rates.
The home listing price-to-income ratio in the Dallas area is 4.7
The ratio compares how expensive homes are in Dallas relative to household income. A higher ratio means homes cost more compared to what people earn.
A healthy price-to-income ratio is generally around 3 times your household's annual income (or less), but higher ratios can be sustainable depending on your rate, DTI, and more.

Pending Homes-for-Sale %
Percentage of Homes Sold per Month
This chart shows the percentage of homes that sold each month, highlighting buyer demand and long-term market trends. In most markets, around 20% of listings selling each month is considered balanced. Higher percentages point to a strong sellers' market, while lower percentages indicate more favorable conditions for buyers.
Largest overall VA lender (purchase and refinance) for seven of the last ten years.
More VA purchase loans than any other lender for the past 10 consecutive years
Over the last six years, Veterans United made more VA purchase loans than USAA, Navy Federal Credit Union, Rocket Mortgage, Wells Fargo and Freedom Mortgage combined.
VA buyers who shop slightly under budget often have more flexibility to make competitive offers, especially on homes that have been on the market for more than 30 days. Some of the best fits for my clients have been in bedroom communities, near military bases or in areas with strong Veteran support and community.
